Upgrade Costs

[bazzer747 25]

Just had (another) offer for upgrading to the latest version. However, I can't quite make out what they are actually offering.

 

The headline (in the email)  is 'up to 30% off' - as I have Enterprise Delphi, this is  only 25% off. Hmmm, I wondered what that eventually came to.  So I followed the link, clicked on the upgrade for Enterprise which says '25% OFF' - which also shows a full price of £3,299, and in much larger red figures '£1,475 perpetual licence + £999 Year one Maintenance'. Which is £2,474. 

 

OK, 25% off £3299 is £2,474.25 - so £1,475 + £99 x 25%.

 

Anyway, I 'Add to Cart' and on the next page it says the price is now £2,969.10 (with £3,950.00 crossed out - where did that come from?) So now they want £2,969.10 from me for the upgrade. My working out says it should be £2,474.25 - some £494.35 less.

 

Have I missed something?

Could it be VAT?

Well I'm wondering where the £1,475 cost comes from in the first instance as they say the 'normal' cost is £3.299 for Delphi Enterprise. Yes, £1.475 + £999 x 20% VAT is £2,968 (mind who want to pay £999 for maintenance, surely a 'hidden' cost as you can't not have it.
